[QUOTE="COBigJohn, post: 2446839, member: 99586"] As you can see in the pic, the 175 Sierras will shoot their eye out. I am hoping the 185 Bergers will be just as good or even a tich better. A wise old shooter at my local gun shop said to wait and pass judgement on a bullet, after I see how it is doing over 600 yards. He said his 308 shoots the 168 better at 500 yards and at a 1,000, the 185 Berger is his favorite. He said the 185 isn't as accurate at 200-300 yards as the light weight bullets.... and he said that is hard to explain, other than the longer bullets need some yardage to "settle down". As for temporary reloading.... my problem is.... I'm not a bachelor. If I were a bachelor, the guest bedroom would be my reloading room in 24 hours. ...... [/QUOTE]
